FootballTransfers runs through the biggest rumours and gossip from 26 May, including the latest updates on Mason Greenwood, Julian Alvarez and Enzo Fernandez.

Roma dream of Greenwood

AS Roma "dream" of signing Marseille forward Mason Greenwood, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

Champions League qualification has changed the club's entire outlook on the summer transfer window, with the Giallorossi now ready to invest up to €100 million on new signings.

Greenwood, who is believed to be set to leave Marseille, is one of their key targets, alongside RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa. Initial contact has already been made with Greenwood. His current price tag is €50m, and Man Utd would be entitled to half of the profit Marseille make on him.

"Aggressive" Alvarez move

Julian Alvarez

Arsenal and PSG are plotting an "aggressive" move for Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez, as per TEAMtalk.

The Argentina international has once again reiterated his desire to leave the Spanish giants via his representatives, with Diego Simeone hinting on Sunday that a decision on the 26-year-old's future had already been made.

Alvarez's preferred destination is Barcelona, but they are not believed to have the finances to complete a deal. As a result, Arsenal and PSG are now pushing strongly to secure the arrival of the striker.

Fernandez to leave Chelsea

Enzo Fernandez is "set to leave" Chelsea this summer, Si Phillips claims.

The midfielder appeared to wave goodbye to the travelling support away at Sunderland on Sunday, making it seem as though he had just played his final game for the Blues. Chelsea may have to sell, but they will not let Fernandez go cheaply.

Ben Jacobs states that the Argentine would "welcome" a bid from Real Madrid, while he also confirmed that exploratory talks over a move to Man City have taken place. Ex-Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca wants to bring Fernandez with him to the Etihad

Liverpool in Eichhorn talks

Kennet Eichhorn

Liverpool have opened talks with Hertha BSC wonderkid Kennet Eichhorn, Sky Germany reports.

The 16-year-old is set to leave the 2. Bundesliga side this summer, courtesy of a bargain €12m release clause. Eichhorn has been the biggest breakout star in the German second tier this season and is also fielding interest from Man City and every major Bundesliga club.

Liverpool have now strongly entered the race for him, holding "concrete" discussions over a move. However, Eichhorn would only be able to move to the UK after turning 18 next summer.

Tchouameni a dream target for Man Utd

Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni is Man Utd's dream target to replace Casemiro, Fabrizio Romano states.

The France international has been touted as someone who could depart Real Madrid this summer, with reports suggesting that Los Blancos could consider cashing in on him if offered north of €80m. However, Romano believes that a deal is very complicated for Man Utd.

"For Real Madrid, he's a very important player," the transfer insider said. "So at the moment, the doors of Real Madrid are still closed for Aurelien Tchouameni. He's on a big salary, so it's a really, really difficult deal, really complicated."
